Description

France / Champagne

Madame Bollinger's presence is still felt in the family home in Aÿ. Her discreet sophistication is evident in the refinement of every detail and the deceptively simple elegance of the house. Behind high garden walls, the sounds of the village seem to fade away; it is as if time stands still in the beauty and tranquility of this garden. But it is in the underground world of the house's cellars that the special importance of time at Champagne Bollinger becomes apparent . After the first fermentation in small stainless steel or wooden barrels, the wine is bottled in the spring and rests in the deep silence of the chalk cellars; Special Cuvée champagnes remain there for at least three years.

Origin in Focus

Champagne

Champagne in north-eastern France is the home of the world’s most famous sparkling wine. The cool climate, limestone and chalk soils, and a long tradition of bottle fermentation shape its unmistakable style: tension, finesse and characteristic minerality. The main grape varieties are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier.
